 I left off some of the decals. And, no, those figures are not to scale! "You don't need to see his identification."

Ah, how much I love the subtle power of the Force in the original movie!

I'll mention too, that altho I fully understand the corporate-think of wanting the finished product to LOOK like a LEGO kit, I really wish they'd included more of the smooth pieces for the top of the model. It's an odd combination of smooth and knobby.Debating whether to "dirty it up".

Not a toy, but I wandered into a shop selling crystals, and ended up buying a cool piece. A chunk of ground that had been struck by lightning, creating all kinds of channels and crannies in the surface. It's about half the size of an American football.Tried to take a picture, but I come out mostly black and uninteresting.

Ah, if only that movie hadn’t been Disney-fied!

Agreed, but these three have stuck with me (in my head) for years! So I couldn’t pass them up.

Cool!
I used to have Mego action figures for V.I.N.CENT, Maximilian and a robot sentry back in the 80s.
The Black Hole is an odd film -- I just started musing about Kate having telepathy... which she uses to talk to the robot V.I.N.CENT. It seems a bizarre inclusion. And, of course, that ending.
Great figures you have there.

Incredible design work on THE BLACK HOLE. Story? Well, yes.
Movie equivalent of Space 1999 for me in that the designs were so great.

BleedingCool is reporting that Eaglemoss has gone into administration -
usually the first step to bankruptcy.
A real shame for all involved as their product was quality.

End of the line for Eaglemoss
Frankly, they have been kind of *reaching* for some of the later entries in
many of their offerings.
